Honey mask
About 1 tbs. honey apply to face and let sit 10-15 min. Rinse.
(Anti-bacterial so it's good for acne and even if you don't have acne it's a great moisturizing mask.)
Papaya mask/exfoliant
Cut papaya in 1 inch chunks. Blend/mash 2 or 3 chunks and store the wrest in the freezer. Apply the blended/mashed papaya and leave on face for 10-20 min. Use 2 or 3x a week.
The papaya may tingle but that just means that the papaya is working and it is breaking down dead skin cells to give that lovely glow and since it breaks down the dead skin it clears out the pores and in turn they shrink!!! (You may not see the results you want until you use it for a while.)
Egg white mask
1 egg white
1 tsp. cornstarch
Beat ingredients. Apple to face, let dry 10-15 min. Rinse.
(Tightens pores. Makes you look like you got a mini face lift!!)
Banana mask
However much you want of banana . Apply to face let sit 10-15 min. Rinse
Honey & Banana mask
However much of each you'd like. Apply to face let sit 10-15 min. Rinse

Apply to face let sit for thirty minutes. Rinse.

Carrots and papaya

6 drops witch hazel
6 drops lemon juice
Whisk the egg white, add the remaining ingredients. Gently apply the mixture to your face, avoiding your eyes. Leave to dry for aprox.15 minutes. Rinse.
Tomato Mask ( For oily skin )

Facial Mask
Squeeze half a lemon and mix the juice with one beaten egg white. Apply to face, let sit 10-15 min. Rinse.
Clay Facial mask
Choose the right clay for your skin type. (French-oily-acne, bentonite-normal, cosmetic or white-any, kaolinite pink-normal-combo, kaolinite white-dry-mature, kaolinite red-sensitive. Add plain water or floral waters or try wetting agents such as fruit purees . Make a thick paste of the clay. Apply the mask to your skin and let it dry for 20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry. Repeat weekly. ( I use french clay)
Banana Face mask for Dry Skin
Mash 1/2 cup of natural yogurt, 1 tbs. of honey, and 1/4 ripe banana. Apply this pack on face and neck and let sit for 10 minutes, rinse.
Hope this helps!!!
This is my favourite honey facial mask recipe!! It works amazingly well

Raw honey works amazing because not only is it natural, but it has anti-bacterial properties that works just as good and probably better than any lab-made cream in the market. I Highly recommend honey facial masks.

- Combine 1 tablespoon of nonfat instant powdered milk, 1 teaspoon unflavored yogurt
- Add half a cucumber, peeled and sliced in small peices
- Put all ingredients in a blender and mix until pasty
- Spread all over the face, keeping it on for at least twenty minutes

theres one where you use an egg yolk a tablespoon of yeast and a mashed banana and you just mix them all together and leave on for 15 minutes
the yeast cleans your face and the banana smooths your skin and the egg keeps the ingredients from sepeating
nicely i'm 13 and all i take advantage of is Palmer's cocoa butter , i in simple terms unfold it for the duration of my face in a skinny layer and it consistently keeps my dermis moisturized (hehe i'm spelling it the american way, stupid spell checker) then i shop it on for approximately 10 minutes and wash it off. wonderful and risk-free. desire i helped! x
I was gonna say oatmeal works good...and egg. But I think Kayla took the cake on this one! lol
mashed strawberries with yoghurt
mashed avacados with honey
egg whites and lemon juice mixed together.
it sounds really gross, but it makes your skin feel really soft, and it dries out oils.

Moisten a face cloth with warm water.
Gently remove the exfoliant being careful not to get any in your eyes. Once removed, dry your face with a clean towel by patting your face to remove excess water.
